Image: UNKNOWN (LILI’S WORLD IN THE PRATER)
According to police spokesman Mattias Schuster, it is “very likely” that iron angles were the cause of the accident, which ended lightly. “These iron angles do not belong to the railway and do not belong there,” the police spokesman explained to the APA.
- From the archive: Lilliputbahn locomotive derailed in Vienna’s Prater – was it sabotage?
The investigators therefore assume that the hand-sized angles were deliberately placed in order to provoke such an accident. The investigation is continuing on suspicion of serious damage to property and endangering physical safety against unknown perpetrators.
Accident scene directly behind a well-known restaurant
The locomotive derailed and overturned. The wagons remained upright and all passengers and the train driver were therefore uninjured, said Philipp Pertl, spokesman for the operating company “Lilis Welt”, to the APA. The scene of the accident is behind the well-known Luftburg restaurant, a section of the Prater that is particularly popular on weekends.
Such an action is unprecedented when it comes to the Liliputbahn and also the Donauparkbahn, which is operated by the same company, said Pertl. Years ago there was a collision with a car caused by the driver of the car.
